Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Boarshead, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Boarshead
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you have damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.
For a rural address like Boarshead, tell us about access and parking, and we will organise the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
